The musician who reached the tops of worldly glory - and became a monk ... Hungarian, weakly knew Hungarian language - and who became a symbol of Hungarian music ... The life of the leaf of the leaf as if woven from the contradictions - that it was impossible to answer his passionate nature.

The first teacher of music for Ferenz Leaf was his father - an official in the administration of Prince Estergazi. He took care of the start of his performing career: from the 9 year older, the "small miracle musician" conquers his own knowledge of noble listeners ... But the father understands that he cannot give a lot of talented son - and the boy is lucky to Vienna, where Ferenz not only causes delight The public, but also studies the piano game from K. Cherni, theories - at A. Salieri.

His first works of F. Sheet created in adolescence. There was among them and Opera - "Don Sancho, or Love Castle" - but not this genre defined the creative appearance of the composer. In the foreground, piano music has always been for him - very often software. The composer seems to "grab" and fix the piano in the sound all the wealth of the world in which he lives - be it literature (Sonata-fantasy "After reading Dante"), painting ("engagement" in the picture of Rafael), Nature ("Spring" ).

But called F. Sheet exclusively by a pianist composer - like F. Chopin - still it is impossible: his symphonic creativity is not inferior to the piano. To a certain extent, this is due to its performing style. This pianist, who - according to the testimony of contemporaries - could have broken three pianos for one concert, as if it was closely as part of his instrument: the piano sounded from him, as an orchestra, it was not by chance that he created piano transcriptions of symphony works and fragments from the opera. The symphony of his creativity is also to the program, often philosophical ("preludes", "Faust Symphony", "from the cradle to the grave"). Elements of passion, manifested here not to a lesser extent, than in the piano game, the boundaries of the semon-syphonic cycle sweeps, a new genre is born - a symphonic poem.

As a true son of the romanticism, F. Sheet has experienced a deep reverence towards national roots: 19 "Hungarian Rhapsodies", Hungarian National Melodies for Piano, Piano Cycle "Hungarian Historical Portraits", Symphonic Poem "Hungary" ...

Ferren's life of the leaf could be the plot of the adventure novel. It was all: Glory, meetings with other geniuses - Berlioz, J. Sand, Romantic Love, who has become a challenge to society, the confrontation of Fili Relief, genuine tragedies - for example, the early death of the Son and daughter ... And finally - the adoption of spiritual sanitary in 54 of the year. However, neither this circumstance nor life adversity prevented their creativity - neither composer, nor the performers. Ferenz Shest gave his last concert in 1886 - 12 days before death.

Music seasons

The sheet became the greatest pianist of the XIX century. His era was a flourishing of concert pianism, the leaf was in the forefront of this process, having infinite technical capabilities. Until now, his virtuosity remains a guide for modern pianists, and the works are the vertices of piano virtuosity. The active concert activity as a whole was completed in 1848, after which the sheet was rare.

As a composer sheet made a lot of discoveries in the field of harmony, melodes, forms. Created new instrumental genres (rapeseed, symphonic poem). Formed the structure of a single-cyclic form, which was scheduled for Shuman and Chopin, but was not developed so bold.

The sheet actively promoted the idea of \u200b\u200bthe synthesis of arts (a like-minded person in this was Wagner). He said that the time of "pure arts" was over (this thesis is put forward to the 1850s.). If Wagner saw this synthesis in connection of music and words, then for the sheet it is more connected with painting, architecture, although the literature played a big role. Hence such an abundance of software works: "Observation" (by the picture of Raphael), "Thinker" (Roden sculpture) and many others. In the future, the ideas of art synthesis were widely used, up to the present day.

The sheet believed by art, which can affect the huge masses of people, to fight evil. With this, his educational activities are connected.

Veced pedagogical activity. Pianists come to Weimar from all over Europe. In his house, where there was a hall, gave them open lessons, and never took money for it. Among others, it was visited by Borodin and Ziloti.

Conducting leaf activity took up in Weimara. There he put Opera (including Wagner), performed symphonies.

Among the literary works are the book about Chopin, the book on the music of Hungarian Gypsies, as well as many articles on topical and global issues.

Ferrenz Sheet was born on October 22, 1811 in Hungary, in the village of Doboryan (Austrian name Riding) (Komitat Shopron). Comitat - area.

Best days

Parents

Father Franz Leaf, Adam Sheet (1776-1826) served by Prince Estergazi "supervisor for the livestock of sheep." It was an honorary and responsible position, since the herd of sheep was the main wealth of Estergazy family. Princes encouraged art. Up to 14 years old Adam played a cello in the orchestra of Prince, led by Josef Haydn. After the end of the Catholic gymnasium in the pressurgy (now Bratislava), Adam Shest did a novice to the Franciscan Order, but two years later decided to leave it. For life, he retained friendship with one of Franciscans, that, as some researchers suggest, inspired him to call his son Franz, and the leaf itself, also supporting connections with Franciscans, in the late years of life entered the Order. Adam Sheck composed, devoting his works of Esterhazi. In 1805, he achieved his appointment to Eisenstadt, where the residence of the princes was located. There in 1805-1809 in the work free time he continued to play the orchestra, having the opportunity to work with many people who came there with musicians, including Kerubini and Beethoven. In 1809, Adam was sent to Riding. A portrait of Beethoven's portrait of Beethoven hung in his house, who was a cumier of his son.

The mother of Franz Leaf, the neborn Anna Lager (1788-1866), was born in Krems (Austria). Osapotev at 9 years old was forced to move to Vienna, where she worked the maid, and in 20 years she moved to Mattersburg to his brother. In 1810 Adam Sheet, having arrived in Mattersburg to visit the Father, met her, and in January 1811 they got married.

In October 1811, the Son was born, which became their only child. The name given during baptism was recorded in Latin as Franciscus, and Franz was pronounced in German. It is often used by the Hungarian name Ferenz, although the leaf itself, weakly owning Hungarian, never used it.

Childhood

The participation of the father in the musical formation of the Son was exceptional. Adam leaf early began to teach the son of music, gave him lessons. In the church, the boy was taught singing, and the local organist is a game on the organ. After three-year classes, Ferenz at the age of eight years first made a public concert. Father drove it to the houses of noble nobles, where the boy played on the piano, and managed to cause a benevolent attitude among them. Understanding that the son needs a serious school, his father is lucky to Vienna.

From 1821, the leaf was engaged in the Vienna playing the piano at Karl Cherni, who agreed to teach the boy free. Great teacher did not like the boy, since it was weak physically. School of mobile gave sheet versatility of his piano art. The theory of the leaf was engaged in Antonio Salieri. Speaking at concerts, the sheet made a sensation among the Viennese public. During one of them, Beethoven after the brilliant improvisation of Franz in the cadence of one of his concerts kissed him. The leaf about it recalled all his life.

Paris

After the vein, the sheet goes to Paris (in 1823). The goal was the Paris Conservatory, but the sheet did not take there, as they took only the French. However, the father decided to stay in Paris, despite the complex financial situation. Because of this, I had to constantly organize performances. So at an early age, the professional activity of the sheet begins. Engaged with a sheet of teachers from the same Paris Conservatory (among them there were such outstanding musicians as Ferdinando Piere and Antonin Reich), but no one else taught him a piano game. Mobile was the last piano teacher.

During this period, the sheet begins to compose - basically, the repertoire for his speeches is etudes. At the age of 14 began opera "Don Suncho, or Love Castle", which was even put in Grand-Opera (in 1825).

In 1827, Adam Sheet died. Ferenz hard worried this event, about 3 years was in an depressed state. In addition, he was annoyed by his role "soldiers", dicks in secular salons. Because of these reasons for several years, the sheet turns off from the life of Paris, his necrologist was even published. The mystical mood increases, and noticeable in a sheet.

In the light of the sheet appeared only in 1830. This is the year of the July revolution. Sheet fascinated a stormy life around him, appeals to justice. There is an idea of \u200b\u200b"revolutionary symphony", in which revolutionary songs should have been used. The sheet returned to active activity, concert with success. Clears the circle of musicians close to him: Berlioz (created at this time "fantastic symphony"), Paganini (who arrived in Paris in 1831). The game of the genius violinist prompted the sheet to achieve even greater perfection. For a while he refused to concert, worked hard on technology and shifted the Paganini Caprises for Piano, published under the name of six sketches. It was the first and extremely brilliant experience in the piano arrangement, which later brought to such a high degree. On a sheet as a virtuoso also had a huge influence of Chopin (who treated skeptical to the sheet, did not have time to see the heyday after 1848 and seeing only a virtuoso). Among the familiar sheets are also writers Duma, Hugo, Mussse, Georges Sand.

Around 1835, articles are published on the social position of artists in France, about Shuman and others. At the same time, the leaf began and pedagogical activities that never left.

At the beginning of the 30s. The leaf meets the Countess Marie D'Agu, the girlfriend Georges Sand. She was fond of contemporary art. The countess had some literary abilities and printed under the pseudonym Henri style. The work of Georges Sand was for her standard. Countess D'Agu and Sheet were in a state of romantic love. In 1835, the Countess left her husband and broke all ties with his circle. Together with the sheet, she leaves to Switzerland - so the next period of the leaf life begins.

"Years of wanderings"

From 1835 to 1848, the next period of the life of the sheet lasts, for which the name of the "Westerns" was entrenched (by the name of the Pieces Collection).

In Switzerland, Leaf and Marie D'Agu lived in Geneva and at times in some picturesque village. The sheet makes the first sketches of the play for the collection "Album of the Traveler", which later became the "years of wanderings" (Fr. "Années de Pèlerinage"), teaches at the Geneva Conservatory, sometimes goes to Paris with concerts. However, Paris is already passionate about the other virtuoso - Talberg, and the sheet does not have the most popular. At this time, the sheet is already beginning to give their concerts educational themes - playing symphonies (in a binding for piano) and concerts of Beethoven, paraphrase on topics from operas and others. Together with D'Agu Shesta writes an article "On the role of art and position of the artist in modern society "(see above). In Geneva, the sheet did not fall from active European life. Friends came to him from Paris, including Georges Sand.

In 1837, already having one child, Leaf and D'Agu go to Italy. Here they visit Rome, Naples, Venice, Florence - Centers of Art and Culture. From Italy, the sheet wrote essays about the local musical life, which was sent to Paris to publish. For them, a letter genre was elected. The addressee most of the letters - Georges Sand, which answered the sheet also essays in the magazine.

In Italy, a solo concert was played by a solo concert for the first time in history, without the participation of other musicians. It was a bold and bold decision, which finally made converse speeches from the salon.

By the same time, fantasies and paraphrase on topics from the opera (including from the "Lucia" of Donizetti), transfers to the pastoral symphony of Beethoven and many works of Berlioza. Daving a few concerts in Paris and Vienna, the sheet returns to Italy (1839), where she ends with the arrangement of Beethoven's symphony on the piano.

The leaf has long dreamed of going to Hungary, but his girlfriend Marie D'Agu was against this trip. At the same time, a large flood occurred in Hungary, and the leaf, possessing already vastly popular and glory, considered to help its duty to compatriots. Thus, the gap happened to D'Agu, and he left one in Hungary.

Austria and Hungary met the leaf triumphantly. In Vienna, after one of the concerts, Talberg came up with him, his longtime competitor, recognizing the superiority of the sheet. In Hungary, the sheet has become an expressive of patriotic lifting of the nation. The noblemen came to his concerts in national costumes, gave him her gifts. Funds from concerts leaf translated in favor of injured from flooding.

Between 1842 and 1848 The sheet traveled several times in Europe, including Russia, Spain, Portugal, was in Turkey. It was the peak of his concert activity. In Russia, the sheet was in 1842 and 1848. In St. Petersburg, the leaf listened to the outstanding figures of Russian music - Stasov, Serov, Glinka. At the same time, Stasov and Serov recalled their shock from his game, but did not like the sheet, he put the filter above.

Sheet was interested in Russian music. He highly appreciated the music "Ruslana and Lyudmila", made the piano transcription of Marsham Chernomor, and kept correspondence with composers of the "mighty coup". In subsequent years, connections with Russia were not interrupted, in particular, the sheet issued a collection of selected passages from the Russian operas.

At the same time, the peak of the educational activity of the sheet reaches. In their concert programs, it includes many piano works of classics (Beethoven, Bach), their own arrangements of the symphony of Beethoven and Berlioz, Schubert's songs, organs of the Bach. At the initiative of the sheet in 1845, celebrations were organized in honor of Beethoven in Bonn, he also made a missing amount to establish the monument in the same place to the brilliant composer.

However, after a while, the sheet is disappointed in its educational activities. He realized that she did not reach the goal, and the inhabitant was more pleasant to listen to the Patrick from the fashionable opera than Sonatu Beethoven. The active concert activity of the sheet is terminated.

At this time, the sheet meets Carolina Wittgenstein, the wife of the Russian General. In 1847, they decided to connect, but Carolina was married, and, moreover, Easto professed Catholicism. Therefore, it was necessary to seek a divorce and a new wedding, which should have been allowed to resolve the Russian emperor and Pope.

Weimar

In 1848, the Sheet and Carolina are justified in Weimara. This choice was due to the fact that the sheet was given the right to lead the musical life of the city, besides, Weimar was a residence of the Duchess - the sisters of Emperor Nikolai I. Apparently, the leaf hoped through it to influence the emperor in the divorce.

The sheet began for the Opera House, updated the repertoire. Obviously, after disappointment in concert activity, he decided to postpone the educational focus on the action of the director. Therefore, the operas of glitch, Mozart, Beethoven, as well as contemporaries - Shumannika ("Genoveva"), Wagner ("Lorangery") appear in the repertoire. The symphony programs were performed by the works of Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Berliosis, as well as their own. However, in this area of \u200b\u200bthe sheet waited for failure. The public was unhappy with the repertoire of the theater, the troupe and the musicians complained.

The main outcome of the Weimar period is the tense composer work of the sheet. He puts his sketches in order, finishes and processes many of his writings. "Traveler's album" after a great job became "years of wanderings." Here piano concerts appear here, Rhapsodia (which used melodies recorded in Hungary), Sonata SO Minor, etudes, romances, first symphonic poems.

Young musicians from all over the world come to Lest to List to get lessons from him.

Together with the Carolina Sheet writes articles, essays. Begins a book about Chopin.

By this time refers to the rapprochement of the sheet with Wagner on the basis of common ideas. At the beginning of the 50s. A union of German musicians are created, the so-called Weimarians, as opposed to the Leipcigs (which belonged to Schuman, Mendelssohn, Brahms, who confessed more academic views than Wagner and Leaf). Often, fierce conflicts arose in print between these groups.

In the late 50s, the hopes for wedding with Carolina finally melts, in addition, the sheet was disappointed with the misunderstanding of his musical activity in Weimara. At the same time, the son of a leaf is dying. Again, as after the death of the Father, mystical and religious feelings are intensified in the sheet. Together with Carolina, they decide to go to Rome to pour sins.

Late years

In the early 60s, leaf and Caroline move in Rome, but live in different homes. She insisted that the sheet became a monk, and in 1865 he takes a small tower and the title of Abbot. The creative interests of the sheet are now preferably in the field of church music: this is the Oratorium "Holy Elizabeth", "Christ", four Psalms, Requiem and Hungarian Coronation Mass (it. Kronungsmesse). In addition, the third volume of "years of wanderings" appears, saturated with philosophical motives. In Rome, the sheet played, but extremely rare.

In 1866, the sheet goes to Weimar, the so-called second Weimar period begins. He lived in a modest house of his former gardener. As before, young musicians come to him - among them Grieg, Borodin, Ziloti.

In 1875, the activity of the sheet focuses mainly in Hungary (in Pest), where he was elected president of the newly founded high school of music. The sheet teaches, writes "Forgotten Waltsy" and new rapeseed for piano, the cycle "Hungarian historical portraits" (about the figures of the Hungarian liberation movement).

The daughter of the Kozim Sheet at that time became Wagner's wife (their son is the famous conductor Siegfried Wagner). After the death of Wagner, she continued to organize the Wagner festivals in Bayreit. At one of the festivals in 1886, the sheet was cold, soon the cold has passed into inflammation of the lungs. Health began to worsen, bothered his heart. Because of the edema of the legs, he moved only with extreme help

In all, what wrote a sheet, visible originality, the desire for new paths, the wealth of fantasy, courage and novelty of the receptions, a peculiar view of art. His instrumental compositions represent a wonderful step forward in musical architectonics. 14 symphonic poems, "Faust" and "Divina Comedia" symphony, piano concerts represent the richest new material for a researcher of the musical form. From the musical and literary works of the sheet, brochures about Chopin are issued (translated into Russian P. A. Zinoviev, in 1887), about Benvenuto Chelinka Berlioz, Schubert, articles in "Neue Zeitschrift Für Musik" and a large essay about Hungarian music ("Des Bohémiens et de Leur Musique en Hongrie").

As a composer sheet made a lot of discoveries in the field of harmony, melodes, forms and textures. Created new instrumental genres (rapeseed, symphonic poem). Formed the structure of a single-cyclic form, which was scheduled for Shuman and Chopin, but was not developed so bold. The sheet actively promoted the idea of \u200b\u200bthe synthesis of arts (a like-minded person in this was Wagner). He said that the time of "pure arts" was over (this thesis is put forward to the 1850s.). If Wagner saw this synthesis in connection of music and words, then for the sheet it is more connected with painting, architecture, although the literature played a big role. Hence such an abundance of software works: "Out of Raphael)," Thinker "(Sculpture of Michelangelo on the tombstone of Lorenzo Medici) and many others. In the future, the ideas of art synthesis were widely used, up to the present day.

The sheet believed by art, which can affect the huge masses of people, to fight evil. With this, his educational activities are connected.

Sheet led pedagogical activity. Pianists come to Weimar from all over Europe. In his house, where there was a hall, gave them open lessons, and never took money for it. Among others, Borodin, Ziloti and Albert visited him.

Conducting leaf activity took up in Weimara. There he put Opera (including Wagner), performed symphonies.

Among the literary works are the book about Chopin, the book about the music of Hungarian Gypsies, as well as many articles on topical and global issues.

2. Biography

Ferenz Sheet was born on October 22, 1811 in Hungary, in the town of Doboryan (Austrian name Riding), Komitat (region) Shopron.

2.1. Parents

Father Franz Leaf, Adam Sheet (1776-1826) served by Prince Esterhazi, "supervisor for the livestock of sheep." It was an honorary and responsible position, as the herd of sheep was the main wealth of Esterhazi family. Princes encouraged art. Up to 14 years old Adam played a cello in the orchestra of Prince, led by Josef Haydn. After the end of the Catholic gymnasium in the pressurgy (now Bratislava), Adam Shest did a novice to the Franciscan Order, but two years later decided to leave it. They say, he has retained friendship with one of Franciscans, which, as some researchers suggest, inspired him to call his son Franz, and the leaf itself, also supporting connections with Franciscans, in the late years of life entered the Order. Adam Sheck composed, devoting his works of Esterhazi. In 1805, he achieved his appointment to Eisenstadt, where the residence of the princes was located. There in 1805-1809 in the work free time he continued to play the orchestra, having the opportunity to work with many people who came there with musicians, including Kerubini and Beethoven. In 1809, Adam was sent to Riding. A portrait of Beethoven's portrait of Beethoven hung in his house, who was a cumier of his son.

The mother of Franz Leaf, the neborn Anna Lager (1788-1866), was born in Krems (Austria). Osapotev at 9 years old was forced to move to Vienna, where she worked the maid, and in 20 years she moved to Mattersburg to his brother. In 1810 Adam Sheet, having arrived in Mattersburg to visit the Father, met her, and in January 1811 they got married.

In October 1811, the Son was born, which became their only child. The name given during baptism was recorded in Latin as Franciscus, and Franz was pronounced in German. It is often used by the Hungarian name Ferenz, although the leaf itself, weakly owning Hungarian, never used it.

The participation of the father in the musical formation of the Son was exceptional. Adam leaf early began to teach the son of music, gave him lessons. In the church, the boy was taught singing, and the local organist is a game on the organ. After three-year classes, Ferenz at the age of eight years first made a public concert. Father drove it to the houses of noble nobles, where the boy played on the piano, and managed to cause a benevolent attitude among them. Understanding that the son needs a serious school, his father is lucky to Vienna.

From 1821, the leaf was engaged in the Vienna playing the piano at Karl Cherni, who agreed to teach the boy free. Great teacher did not like the boy, since it was weak physically. School of mobile gave sheet versatility of his piano art. The theory of the leaf was engaged in Antonio Salieri. Speaking at concerts, the sheet made a sensation among the Viennese public. During one of them, Beethoven after the brilliant improvisation of Ferens in the cadence of one of his concerts kissed him. The leaf about it recalled all his life.

2.2. Paris

After the vein, the sheet goes to Paris (in 1823). The goal was the Paris Conservatory, but the sheet did not take there, as they took only the French. However, the father decided to stay in Paris, despite the complex financial situation. Because of this, I had to constantly organize performances. So at an early age, the professional activity of the sheet begins. Engaged with a sheet of teachers from the same Paris Conservatory (among them there were such outstanding musicians as Ferdinando Piere and Antonin Reich), but no one else taught him a piano game. Mobile was the last piano teacher.

During this period, the sheet begins to compose - basically, the repertoire for his speeches is etudes. At the age of 14 began opera "Don Suncho, or Love Castle", which was even put in Grand-Opera (in 1825).

In 1827, Adam Sheet died. Ferenz hard worried this event, about 3 years was in an depressed state. In addition, he was annoyed by his role "soldiers", dicks in secular salons. Because of these reasons for several years, the sheet turns off from the life of Paris, his necrologist was even published. The mystical mood increases, and noticeable in a sheet.

In the light of the sheet appeared only in 1830. This is the year of the July revolution. Sheet fascinated a stormy life around him, appeals to justice. There is an idea of \u200b\u200b"revolutionary symphony", in which revolutionary songs should have been used. The sheet returned to active activity, concert with success. Clears the circle of musicians close to him: Berlioz (created at this time "fantastic symphony"), Paganini (who arrived in Paris in 1831). The game of the genius violinist prompted the sheet to achieve even greater perfection. For a while he refused to concert, worked hard on technology and shifted the Paganini Caprises for Piano, published under the name of six sketches. It was the first and extremely brilliant experience in the piano arrangement, which subsequently brought to such a high degree. On a sheet as a virtuoso also had a huge influence of Chopin (who treated skeptical to the sheet, did not have time to see the heyday after 1848 and seeing only a virtuoso). Among the familiar sheets are also writers Duma, Hugo, Mussse, Georges Sand.

Around 1835, articles are published on the social position of artists in France, about Shuman and others. At the same time, the leaf began and pedagogical activities that never left.

At the beginning of the 30s. The leaf meets the Countess Marie D'Agu, the girlfriend Georges Sand. She was fond of contemporary art. The countess had some literary abilities and printed under the pseudonym Daniel Stern. The work of Georges Sand was for her standard. Countess D'Agu and Sheet were in a state of romantic love. In 1835, the Countess left her husband and broke all ties with his circle. Together with the sheet, she leaves to Switzerland - so the next period of the leaf life begins.

2.3. "Years of wanderings"

From 1835 to 1848, the next period of the lifestyle lasts, behind which the name of the "Western years" was entrenched (by the name of the Pieces Collection).

In Switzerland, Leaf and Marie D'Agu lived in Geneva and at times in some picturesque village. The sheet makes the first sketches of the plays for the collection "Traveler's album", which later became the "year of wanderings" (FR. "Années de Pèlerinage"), teaches at the Geneva Conservatory, sometimes goes to Paris with concerts. However, Paris is already passionate about the other virtuoso - Talberg, and the sheet does not have the most popular. At this time, the sheet is already beginning to give their concerts educational themes - playing symphonies (in his arrangement for piano) and concerts of Beethoven, paraphrase on topics from operas, and others. Together with D'Agu sheet writes an article "On the role of art and position of the artist in modern society "(see above). In Geneva, the sheet did not fall from active European life. Friends came to him from Paris, including Georges Sand.

In 1837, already having one child, Leaf and D'Agu go to Italy. Here they visit Rome, Naples, Venice, Florence - Centers of Art and Culture. From Italy, the sheet wrote essays about the local musical life, which was sent to Paris to publish. For them, a letter genre was elected. The addressee most of the letters - Georges Sand, which answered the sheet also essays in the magazine.

In Italy, a solo concert was played by a solo concert for the first time in history, without the participation of other musicians. It was a bold and bold decision, which finally made converse speeches from the salon.

By the same time, fantasies and paraphrase on topics from the opera (including from the "Lucia" of Donizetti), transfers to the pastoral symphony of Beethoven and many works of Berlioza. Daving a few concerts in Paris and Vienna, the sheet returns to Italy (1839), where she ends with the arrangement of Beethoven's symphony on the piano.

The leaf has long dreamed of going to Hungary, but his girlfriend Marie D'Agu was against this trip. At the same time, a large flood occurred in Hungary, and the leaf, possessing already vastly popular and glory, considered to help its duty to compatriots. Thus, the gap happened to D'Agu, and he left one in Hungary.

Austria and Hungary met the leaf triumphantly. In Vienna, after one of the concerts, Talberg came up with him, his longtime competitor, recognizing the superiority of the sheet. In Hungary, the sheet has become an expressive of patriotic lifting of the nation. The noblemen came to his concerts in national costumes, gave him her gifts. Funds from concerts leaf translated in favor of injured from flooding.

Between 1842 and 1848 The sheet traveled several times in Europe, including Russia, Spain, Portugal, was in Turkey. It was the peak of his concert activity. In Russia, the sheet was in 1842 and 1848. In St. Petersburg, the leaf listened to the outstanding figures of Russian music - V. Stasov, A. N. Serov, M. I. Glinka. At the same time, Stasov and Serov recalled their shock from his game, but did not like the sheet, he put the filter above.

Sheet was interested in Russian music. He highly appreciated the music "Ruslana and Lyudmila", made the piano transcription of Marsham Chernomor, and kept correspondence with composers of the "mighty coup". In subsequent years, connections with Russia were not interrupted, in particular, the sheet issued a collection of selected passages from the Russian operas.

At the same time, the peak of the educational activity of the sheet reaches. In their concert programs, it includes many piano works of classics (Beethoven, Bach), their own arrangements of the symphony of Beethoven and Berlioz, Schubert's songs, organs of the Bach. At the initiative of the sheet in 1845, celebrations were organized in honor of Beethoven in Bonn, he also made a missing amount to establish the monument in the same place to the brilliant composer.

However, after a while, the sheet is disappointed in its educational activities. He realized that she did not reach the goal, and the inhabitant was more pleasant to listen to the Patrick from the fashionable opera than Sonatu Beethoven. The active concert activity of the sheet is terminated.

At this time, the sheet meets Carolina Wittgenstein, the wife of the Russian General. In 1847, they decided to connect, but Carolina was married, and, moreover, Easto professed Catholicism. Therefore, it was necessary to seek a divorce and a new wedding, which should have been allowed to resolve the Russian emperor and Pope.

2.4. Weimar

In 1848, the Sheet and Carolina are justified in Weimara. This choice was due to the fact that the sheet was given the right to lead the musical life of the city, besides, Weimar was a residence of the Duchess - the sisters of Emperor Nikolai I. Apparently, the leaf hoped through it to influence the emperor in the divorce. The sheet began for the Opera House, updated the repertoire. Obviously, after disappointment in concert activity, he decided to postpone the educational focus on the action of the director. Therefore, the operas of glitch, Mozart, as well as contemporaries - Shuman ("Genoveva"), Wagner ("Lorangery") appear in the repertoire. The symphony programs were performed by the works of Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Berliosis, as well as their own. However, in this area of \u200b\u200bthe sheet waited for failure. The public was unhappy with the repertoire of the theater, the troupe and the musicians complained.

The main outcome of the Weimar period is the tense composer work of the sheet. He puts his sketches in order, finishes and processes many of his writings. "Traveler's album" after a great job became "years of wanderings." The piano concerts appear here, Rhapsodia (which used melodies recorded in Hungary), Sonata SO Minor, etudes, romances, the first symphonic poems. In Weimar, young musicians come from all over the world to get lessons.

Together with the Carolina Sheet writes articles, essays. Begins a book about Chopin. By this time refers to the rapprochement of the sheet with Wagner on the basis of common ideas. At the beginning of the 50s. A union of German musicians are created, the so-called Weimarians, as opposed to the Leipcigs (which belonged to Schuman, Mendelssohn, Brahms, who confessed more academic views than Wagner and Leaf). Often, fierce conflicts arose in print between these groups.

In the late 50s, the hopes for wedding with Carolina finally melts, in addition, the sheet was disappointed with the misunderstanding of his musical activity in Weimara. At the same time, the son of a leaf is dying. Again, as after the death of the Father, mystical and religious feelings are intensified in the sheet. Together with Carolina, they decide to go to Rome to pour sins.

2.5. Late years

In the early 60s, leaf and Caroline move in Rome, but live in different homes. She insisted that the sheet became a monk, and in 1865 he takes a small tower and the title of Abbot. The creative interests of the sheet are now preferably in the field of church music: this is the Oratorio of "Holy Elizabeth", "Christ", four Psalms, Requiem and Hungarian coronation mass (Him. Kronungsmesse.). In addition, the third volume of "years of wanderings" appears, saturated with philosophical motives. In Rome, the sheet played, but extremely rare.

In 1866, the sheet goes to Weimar, the so-called second Weimar period begins. He lived in a modest house of his former gardener. As before, young musicians come to him - among them Grieg, Borodin, Ziloti.

In 1875, the activity of the sheet focuses mainly in Hungary (in Pest), where he was elected president of the newly founded high school of music. Sheet teaches, among his students - Emil von Sauer, Alexander Zyloti, Eugene D'Albert, Moritz Rosenthal, Ignat Friedman and many others. He writes "Forgotten Walts" and new rapeseed for piano, the cycle "Hungarian historical portraits" (about the figures of the Hungarian liberation movement).

The daughter of the Kozim Sheet at that time became Wagner's wife (their son is the famous conductor Siegfried Wagner). After the death of Wagner, she continued to organize Wagner festivals in Bayreuth. At one of the festivals in 1886, the sheet was cold, soon the cold has passed into inflammation of the lungs. Health began to worsen, bothered his heart. Because of the edema of the legs, he moved only with extreme help.

3. Interesting facts

    The sheet was performed in a music society in Bayreuth his new product. It was an extremely complex composition written in a rapid pace. The sheet played it with his inherent virtuosity and finished the game for enthusiastic applause. The smaller sheet politely bowed to the public and proudly said:

Only two pianist in Europe can do this work - I and Hans background Buloves! Then the young Georges Bizet attended this evening came to the piano, sat down and with no less virtuosity performed just a heard work without notes, in memory. - Bravo! - exclaimed an embarrassed sheet. "But, my young buddy, you shouldn't strain your memory so much, here's notes to you. Don't matter, now on notes, I played the work of the maestro. "Congratulations," leaf hand held him. - Now you are the third in Europe!

In all, what wrote a sheet, visible originality, the desire for new paths, the wealth of fantasy, courage and novelty of the receptions, a peculiar view of art. His instrumental compositions represent a wonderful step forward in musical architectonics. 13 symphonic poems, "Faust" and "Divina Comedia" symphony, piano concerts represent the richest new material for the researcher of the musical form. From the musical and literary works of the sheet, brochures about Chopin are issued (translated into Russian P. A. Zinoviev, in 1887), about Benvenuto Chelinka Berlioz, Schubert, articles in "Neue Zeitschrift Für Musik" and a large essay about Hungarian music ("Des Bohémiens et de Leur Musique en Hongrie").
